Episode Details

Veteran homelessness hit an all-time low in 2025, dropping by nearly 390 people from the previous year — but the story varies by state. While California and Florida made major progress, 25 states saw increases, with Oregon leading in raw numbers and Mississippi nearly doubling its count. Since 2011, overall veteran homelessness has plummeted 56%, thanks to sustained federal funding, state-level initiatives, and innovative programs like New Jersey’s housing push, Minnesota’s by-name registry, and landlord incentives in Florida and Maine. The decline proves targeted efforts work — and could serve as a blueprint for tackling homelessness more broadly.
